Lori Vallow Daybell and her fifth husband face murder charges in deaths of her two children

Idaho prosecutors suggested motives, showed graphic photos and described a complicated plot involving efforts to cast out evil spirits Monday in the triple murder trial of a woman accused in the deaths of her two kids and a romantic rival.“The defendant used money, power and sex to get what she wanted,” Fremont County Prosecutor Lindsey Blake told jurors during the first day of arguments. “It didn’t matter what it was.

Tylee’s body had been burned, Blake said, and leaving behind only “a mass of bone and tissue” and some DNA on a pickaxe and shovel. Duct tape had been wrapped around JJ’s hands and head, his body wrapped in trash bags. Defense attorney Jim Archibald presented jurors with a far different picture, describing Vallow Daybell as a “kind and loving mother to her children” who happened to have a particular interest in religion and Biblical prophesies involving the end of the world.

Archibald also said Vallow Daybell’s religious beliefs only began to change after she met Chad Daybell, a religious author whose fictional books focused on the apocalypse and were loosely based on the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. JJ Vallow’s grandmother, Kay Woodcock, was the first witness to take the stand after opening arguments. She cried after Madison County prosecutor Rob Wood showed her a photo of JJ.

Woodcock eventually contacted authorities and asked them to do a welfare check on JJ, prompting Rexburg Police to open a missing persons case in November 2019. During that period, police say the couple lied about the children’s whereabouts.
